Summary
Joel’s plumb out of luck, it seems, because running after the dog is the little girl. She’s out of breath, still halfway laughing, and for a few seconds she doesn’t notice him. In those seconds, her face is wide open in a grin, dark hair wild and posture loose. She can’t be more than thirteen, maybe a small fourteen, and she’s clumsy in the way teenagers are right after a growth spurt. There’s a knife in Joel’s chest, the one that’s been there for twenty years, and it twists.
(or, joel accidentally gets a dog. apparently, the dog comes with a mouthy fourteen-year-old kid, and maybe also a reason for living again.)

Summary
The kids always seem to forget he dated Nancy Wheeler for an entire year of his life before they fell apart and it broke his heart so bad he hasn’t been able to love anyone since. There was no overlap, just Nancy one day and a growing collection of middle schoolers that emotionally imprinted on him the next.
And then Robin, of course.
Love is a lot of things, he’s realized in the past two years. Though he's still figuring out how to put it all together.
